Although his claim sounds outrageous, Curtis is describing what he genuinely believes will happen to him.

So her claim that she never heard of Marle sounded right enough.

At first, the claims made on behalf of chaos sounded wild and unscientific.

My question is, are these claims scientifically sound?

And if those claims sound too good to be true well, that's because they are.

The claims from both sides sound wild, almost apocalyptic.

Their claims for the superiority of failed and terrible philosophies are sounding ever more hollow.

From another person, those claims and hopes might sound pretentious.

"Huling's claim that he might have left the pipe in the study sounded very ridiculous to me."

But in the current political campaign those claims sound like a bad joke.
